Where a Home is Made

When a home is made it is not a house anymore. You share great memories with people you love. A home is not where you just sleep in a bed, it's where you tell your dreams and wake up to the warm sun shining in your eyes. A home is shared with family and friends where you have fun and a great time. A house has a kitchen, basement, a living room and more, but when you’re in a home you make those places special whether it’s watching a hockey game on the couch or sleeping on your bed. A house has a kitchen but when you're in a home it's different, whether it's sharing recipes or preparing for the holidays or maybe baking a cake for someone's birthday. But when we share a home we have to appreciate who takes care of you and who helps you get through the day, even if it is a small gesture like a quick hug, It’s those little things that matter that put a smile on someone's face. A home is made with kindness, love and care but when you're in a house you don't get the same feeling but if you are kind and caring that changes very quickly. A house refers to walls, roof and a place that provides shelter, while you are in a home, it represents comfort, security and warmth. In conclusion, as you can see, home is very different from a house.
